john, thank you. thank you, fiona. this is the kind of thing i could only have dreamt would have arrived at my table today. here we have perhaps, how can i say? one of the legends of golfing history. and this is old tom morris. can you tell me where this came from? it was in my father's house after his death, and when we cleared the house out, we found it. so it wasn't hanging on the wall? no. okay. let's talk about old tom morris because essentially, what we have here, a superb photographic image of old tom morris, and he's on the course at st. andrew's. he's in a bunker which actually to be honest with you, is probably not that usual for old tom morris because old tom morris was an exceptional golfer. he was regarded as absolutely invincible on the course. he actually won the open at prestwick four times, starting in 1861 i believe. and here he is at st. andrew's. there's a slightly more poignant history to old tom, as well, because he had a son young tom morris and young tom morris won the open four times as well. b
